HERE WE ARE AGAIN, MIR. MERRY
MAN

There have been several midnight con-
ferences in General Mahone's cave OF
evil mongers, and as soon a the pro-
ceedings have received the imprimatur
Of the caucus we will be treated TO an
address in the name Of the Republican
party. which will be no more nor less
than the personal platform of Boss Ma
hone. n ade to hand before the caucus
met
That anything therein will be received
as a sincere declaration Of purpose, or as
the sentiment and intention of any set
of people but the ring of political adj
venturers, is beyond the belief of even
the members of the ling. They seek as
heretofore to get preferment through
blind obedience to a superior talent.
They and their master have never been
suspected of patriotism, and it will now
be only another performance Of drama
OF assumed charac crs, Of stage tricks.
and contortions, played with the wonder
ful cleyerness that characterizes the man.
ager of the show when inspired by his
peculiar malign selishness and ambition
OF course the result aimed al is the
senatorship for General Malone, and tho
promises will all go to protest without
any indorser when the boss is seated fol
six years more in the body where he can
use that big vote for his private purposes

Of the Democratic party when we think
them wrong; but the people are likely tC

The journal Of Commerce, always wise
and practical, devoted its leader yester-
day TO the spirit Of independence in pol
itics, and shows how the education
of the masses Of the people and the
familiar circulation of ideas from so
many intelligent sources tends to Olsen
thral the popular mind from the rule Of
personal politics
The time has past when the orator of
the court green could point the way for
the voter, and it is becoming a rule that
the people are improving their instincts
with the growth of the daily information
they get. Hence political leaders must
not rely any longer on any sentiments
that are not practical.

The Alexandria Gdtotte, that will never
be suspected of any lack of loyalty TO Nir-
ginia or to the Democratic party, has the
following relative to the action OF the
convention, and we have again to say
that the Democratic Committee will not
be wise if they fail to recognize the
opinions and the influences of the ele-
ment in the party that carries the
strength of moral principle
Notwithstanding the reimbursement
of the Riddleberger bill by the state
Democratic Convention, some of the
Democratic newspapers of the state con
tinue To suggest and discuss various
schemes for the settlement of the state
debt by other means. That they do so is
patent evidence that they, like many OF
The delegates to the convention who
gave their passive consent TO its action,
DO not believe that the Riddleberger bill
will ever settle the debt Nor will IT.
But the debt must be settled, and To be
so. the settlement must be satisfactory TO
the creditors. The difference in the
amount of interest between the creditors
and the State, at the called meeting of
the Legislature, was comparatively In
significant. A stamp tax on bank paper
which nobody would feel, and which
when adopted in Maryland brought The
deprecated bonds of that State up TO par
and a high liquor license, which nobody
need pay unless so disposed would easily
raise all the money requisite, and a large
surplus besides"

Governor Lee and the Vice Presidency.
Richmond Telegram TO the Baltimore sun.
Governor Lee denies the story which
has been going the rounds of the northern
Republican press that his recent visit to
St Paul and Duluth was in conformity
with 8 plan mapped out by some Demo
cratic leaders to bring his name prouI-
nentlv forward for the NIce-Presideucy IN
1888. The Governors visit to the north-
west WAS made at the earnest solicitation
of the party of Richmond capitalists whom
he accompanied to St. Paul and Duluth,
and was in no wise connected with poll
tics or political booms. Talking on this
subject Governor Lee said he thought the
nomination of 8 southern man for the sec
Ond place On the ticket would have
happy effect, more especially as the south
has been doing some heavy Democratic
voting for twenty years for northern
man for President and q northern man
for Vice-President. off the National
Democratic Convention should, for many
reasons, decide to give southern man
the second place upon the ticket" said
Governor Lee, "there are many men
whose claims and qualifications are so
much greater than mine that the matter
does not disturb me in the least. The
convention will decide what ticket car
hest win, and l am for that ticket"
